Configuration Conflicts

6.Remove the device or adapter. Some configurations are not supported (for example, you cannot operate the server with two ISA SVGA adapters installed). If you must remove an adapter, see “Removing Adapters” on page 151.

Resolving Software Configuration Conflicts

The memory-address space and IRQs used by some hardware options might conflict with addresses defined for use through application programs.

If there is a conflict, one or more of the following conditions might exist:

ŸThe system cannot load the operating system.

ŸThe system does not work.

ŸAn application program does not operate, or it returns an error.

ŸScreen messages indicate a conflict exists.

You can resolve conflicts by changing either the software or the hardware configuration.

Note: Use the Change Configuration Settings selection in the System Configuration Utility program to view the addresses used by the system board functions and adapters. (See “Step

3:Change Configuration Settings” on page 49 for instructions.)

Changing the Software Configuration

If a device driver is causing a memory-address conflict, refer to your operating-system documentation or the documentation supplied with the device drivers.
